Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp butter 28 g, unsalted
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp black pepper ground
- 16 oz button mushrooms 453 g
- 10 oz cherry tomato 283 g
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes roughly chopped
- 1 cup vegetable broth 236 mL
- 1 cup heavy cream 236 mL
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese 40 g, grated
- 2 Tbsp basil fresh, chopped
Instructions
- Flavor Base: Heat 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, ½ tsp each salt, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, and ¼ tsp ground black pepper in a large saute pan or pot over medium heat until butter is melted, about 1 minute.
- Fillings: Add 16 oz button mushrooms, 10 oz cherry tomatoes, 4 cloves garlic, and ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes. Cook uncovered, stirring often, until mushrooms sweat out their moisture and excess liquid has evaporated, turning the tomatoes into a thick sauce, about 15 minutes.
- Broth: Stir in 1 cup vegetable broth and continue cooking until sauce thickens again, about 10 minutes.
- Finish: Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup grated parmesan, and 2 Tbsp fresh chopped basil. Serve warm with rice, pasta, or crusty bread.

Notes
- Button mushrooms provide the ideal texture and size; cremini or finely diced portobello mushrooms can be used as alternatives.
- Allow mushrooms to cook long enough to release and reabsorb their liquid to avoid a watery sauce; simmer uncovered until sauce thickens.
